The Cares Fly Safe Airplane Safety Harness is a great solution for families who want to fly safely and comfortably with small children. After several years of use, I am sharing my experiences here and why I would recommend the Cares Harness* to any traveling parent.
Installation of the Cares Harness
Installing the Cares Harness* is incredibly easy and only takes about 2 minutes. All you have to do is fold down the table of the seat behind you, attach the harness, and fold the table back up. Then, adjust the harness length to your child’s height. Important to know: You have to attach the harness yourself, as flight attendants are not allowed to help for legal reasons.
Comfort for the child
The comfort of the normal airplane seat is fully maintained with the Cares Harness*. Your child sits comfortably and is well secured at the same time. An additional advantage is that the harness prevents the child from tipping forward while sleeping, which makes the flight much more pleasant for small children.
Advantage over a classic child seat
Compared to a classic child seat for airplanes, the Cares Harness* is much more compact. If you don’t need a child seat for car rides during your trip, the Cares Harness is the perfect choice. Another plus: You can use the normal table in the airplane, which is not possible with many child seats.
Transport and handling
The Cares Harness* weighs only 500 grams and comes in a practical bag. This makes it extremely easy to transport, making it ideal for minimalist traveling families.
Safety and certification
The Cares Harness* is FAA-approved and also has approvals from many international aviation authorities, including Germany, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many more. This gives us as parents the reassuring feeling that our child is traveling safely.
Important: Make sure to only buy the original Cares Harness, because only this one is FAA certified and guarantees the correct securing of your child during the flight.
Price-performance ratio
With a price of around €60, the Cares Harness* offers excellent value for money. Depending on the weight and size of the child, it can be used for about 3 years. This is a worthwhile investment that has more than paid off for us.

Recommendation for families
I recommend the Cares Harness* for all flights where you do not need a child seat for a car. However, if you need a child seat for the car on your trip, an aircraft-approved child seat is the better choice.
